Finished Size

My robins turn out to be only 2 inches tall, but this depends on the type of wool and hook size that you use.

Gauge

A nice tight gauge - this way the fiberfill won't show through

Notes

This simple robin was inspired by some of the basic amigurumi birds patterns. However, instead of working in a continuous spiral like most amigurumi this little robin is worked in rows which gives him a nice straight edge between his head and his red ***.

This pattern has been written using the American crochet terms, so for British crocheters:

Attach wings on the halfway point of the body, add beads for eyes, add yellow felt for beak and attach tail to the back. See photo for further guidance on how to put your robin together

Small robins

I've adjusted this pattern slightly to produce a smaller, rounder robin - these little guys look more like Christmas tree baubles to me and are even quicker to make. You can find the instructions for these on my blog.
